Hi,

I’ve just had the IPO done for the car, and realised that the car’s Matriculation Certificate has an old address – we’ve moved house since buying the car and since the last IPO. Finanças have the new address and know that the car is mine (annual car tax payment) but I can’t see anywhere on the IMT site where I can register the new address for the matriculation document.

Does this matter? If so, how do I go about changing the address?

I was told (Freguesia) that I didn’t need to change the address for my driving licence, as that is all done through Finanças – is it the same for the car matriculation.

Ta, Steve

The change off adress is made in a Conservatória do Registo Automóvel, it can also be done online by a lawyer, solicitador or some documentation agencies.

I think it costs arround 30€

To my knowlegde it is not mandatory to have this change made, any tax or ticket is send to the fiscal adress of the owner not to the adress in the registry office.

To my knowlegde it is not mandatory to have this change made,

It is mandatory Sonia, Article 118.5 of the Código da Estrada applies.

No caso de alteração do nome ou da designação social, mudança de residência ou sede, deve o titular do documento de identificação do veículo comunicar essa alteração no prazo de 30 dias à autoridade competente, requerendo o respetivo averbamento.

Article 118.10 shows non compliance of Article 118.5 is subject to a fine of €30 to €150.

Thanks for the replies. A question arises from the Código da Estrada extract: who or what is the “competent authority”. IMT don’t have any details on how to change the address and the Finanças already have the new address but nothing would seem to have followed with reference to the matriculation document.

I’ve just found a section in www.automovelonline.mj.pt talking about addresses, but this service is restricted to authorised people – presumably Notaries, solicitors etc.

I’ll take a trip to the local Conservatória and see what they say.

The competent authority is the Conservatória.

Unfortunately not, and I don’t think there are any plans to do so. I suspect because the registration document is not a personal document (it pertains to the vehicle) unlike the Finanças, health and Citizen card records which pertain to a person.
